第03讲 完形填空之说明文(讲义)-中考英语一轮复习讲练测(全国通用)(解析版)_1
►第03讲完型填空之说明文（讲义）【复习目标】1.了解中考英语说明类完形填空解题技巧概览2.语境联想的应用3.掌握解题步骤和策略4.完形填空解题技巧的实践应用【考情分析】完型填空之说明文题型语篇特征完形填空的做题误区很多同学说，他们做完形填空时，往往采用“翻译法和代入法”，即做题时翻译文章内容，感觉哪个合适选哪个，看看划横线处有没有一些固定搭配，然后作选择或者填空。
其实这样做是很危险的：①在实际考试中，翻译很容易受母语影响，进行错误选择；②并不是所谓固定搭配一定是正确选项，完形填空是考查单词在语境中的运用。
如果这个搭配或短语是不符合语篇、段落逻辑的，即便是固定说法，也是不合适的，在阅卷的时候这样的答案一定是错误的。
一中考英语说明类完形填空解题技巧概览抓住文章的主题和说明的内容，准确把握说明的对象和特点。
说明文主要是对事物或现象进行客观的分析和阐述，使读者更加清楚地了解和认识该事物或现象的本质和特点。
在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和说明的内容及特点。
中考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。
因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。
1.通读全文，了解大意做题之前，必须先浏览全文，了解短文的大意，这是必不可少的一个步骤。
通过短文所提供的信息，借助语感及相关知识的推断，可以从整体上把握短文的轮廓。
完形填空题不同于单项填空题，单项填空题所给的是一个或两个句子，根据根据或前后句子就可以判定所选的答案。
而完形填空题所给的是一篇意思完整的短文，所选的答案设在整段或整篇之中。
切勿为了省时说明文是一种以＂说明、解释＂为主要表达方式的英语文体。
它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。
它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。

2020年通用版中考英语语法专题突破训练第03篇 名著阅读01 《小公主》《最后一片叶子》
名著阅读(一) 《小公主》《最后一片叶子》A[2019·镇江二模]When Sara entered the schoolroom the next morning, everybody looked at her with wide, interested eyes. By that time every pupil—from Lavinia Herbert, who was nearly thirteen and felt quite grown up, to Lottie Legh, who was just four and the baby of the school—had heard a great deal about her. They knew very certainly that she was Miss Minchin's show pupil and was considered a credit to the school(为校争光的人). One or two of them had even caught a glimpse(瞥) of her French maid(女仆), Mariette, who had arrived the evening before. Lavinia had managed to pass Sara's room when the door was open, and had seen Mariette opening a box which had arrived late from some shop.“It was full of beautiful dresses,” she whispered to her friend Jessie. “I saw her shaking them out. I heard Miss Minchin say to Miss Amelia that her clothes were too good for a child. My mamma says that children should be dressed simply. She has got one of those dresses on now. I saw it when she sat down.”“She isn't pretty as other pretty people are,” said Jessie, stealing a glance across the room, “but she makes you want to look at her again. She has very long eyelashes, but her eyes are almost green.”Sara was sitting quietly in her seat, waiting to be told what to do. She had been placed near Miss Minchin's desk. She was not shy or nervous at all by the many pairs of eyes watching her. She was interested and looked back quietly at the children who looked at her. She wondered what they were thinking of, and if they liked Miss Minchin, and if they cared for their lessons, and if any of them had a papa at all like her own. She had had a long talk with Emily about her papa that morning. “He is on the sea now, Emily,” she had said. “We must be very great friends to each other and tell each other things. Emily, look at me. You have the nicest eyes I ever saw—but I wish you could speak.” She was a child full of imagination, and one of her thoughts was that making herself believe that Emily was alive and really heard and understood.(Adapted from A Little Princess)1.From the story, we know .()A.Sara has a papa and a mamaB.Sara has a shared room with LaviniaC.Sara has a French maid called MarietteD.Sara has many friends in the schoolroom2.Which of the following is NOT the purpose of the first three paragraphs(前三段)?()A.To describe the personalities of Sara.B.To show the students' curiosity about Sara.C.To introduce several characters of the story.D.To draw a simple picture of Sara's appearance.3.Which is TRUE according to the story?()A.Lottie Legh was a child aged nearly 13.B.Sara's father is taking a ship to some place.C.Emily is able to communicate with Sara.D.Miss Minchin is satisfied with Sara's clothes.4.What can be inferred(推断) from the story?()A.Sara's eyes are almost green.B.Sara loves and misses her father.C.Sara had no interest in anybody else.D.Sara's maid helps her with nothing.BThe Last Leaf is a short story written by the USA author O. Henry, one of the most famous short story writers in history. His stories are known for their surprising endings, now called “O. Henry endings”.In the story of The Last Leaf, Sue and Joanna are two artists living in New York City. Unfortunately, Joanna is illand will probably die. In the hospital, something touching and unexpected happens. Let's find out more in the following excerpt(节选).Sue looked out of the window. All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy(常春藤) plant. The half-dead plant had few leaves on it because of the autumn winds.“There are only five, now,” said Joanna.“Five what, dear?What are you counting?”“The ivy leaves,” replied Joanna. “When the last one goes, I'll die. I've known that for two days. Didn't the doctor tell you about it?”“Joanna, don't say that. Now, eat some soup and I'll finish my picture.”“I don't want any soup,” said Joanna, looking out of the window. “Now there are only four.”“Joanna dear, try to sleep. I must ask Mr Berman to come up. I want to draw a picture of him as a poor old farmer.”Mr Berman, who was over 60 years old, lived downstairs. He was a painter, too, but he never sold anything, and he drank a lot. Sue told him all about what Joanna was saying.“She can't really think that this will happen!The poor woman!” he cried.…Finally there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant. After a few windy days, the leaf was still there.“Susie,” said Joanna, “I've been a bad girl. That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me to want to die. Bring me some soup, dear.”The next day, the doctor said, “She's out of danger. But poor Mr Berman downstairs is dying. There's no hope for him, I'm afraid.”That afternoon Sue went into Joanna's bedroom.“Joanna dear, Mr Berman died today. And do you know why? One terrible, cold wet night he took a ladder and some green and yellow paint and he climbed up, and—oh, look at the last ivy leaf on the wall! Why didn't it evermove in the wind? Can't you see? It was Mr Berman's last great picture. He painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”1.In this sentence “She can't really think that this will happen!”, “this” refers to. ()A.Joanna didn't eat any soupB.The doctor said she would dieC.Joanna counted the leaves of the ivy plantD.Joanna thought when the last ivy leaf went, she would die2.Why didn't the last ivy leaf fall after a few windy days?()A.Because it was painted on the wall.B.Because the leaf was green.C.Because the wind wasn't strong.D.Because it was tied to the tree.3.Why did Mr Berman paint an ivy leaf on that wall on a terrible, cold wet night?()A.Because Susie asked him to do so.B.Because he drank a lot and nobody could stop him.C.Because he liked the ivy plant and wanted to paint it before he died.D.Because that night the last ivy leaf fell, he didn't want Joanna to lose hope.4.From the passage we know that. ()A.Joanna was a bad girl without hope in her lifeB.Mr Berman was a very kind, great artistC.Susie never let Mr Berman know what Joanna saidD.Mr Berman's pictures were so terrible that he couldn't sell them out【参考答案】A1—4CCBAB[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文。

2020年中考英语热点专题突破训练四 任务型阅读之综合任务(含答案)
热点04 任务型阅读之综合任务【命题趋势】为了弥补阅读理解客观题(判断是非题与单项选择题)一统天下、考生容易猜测的局面，近年来各地中考英语阅读理解部分都引入了属于主观题性质的任务型阅读，要求考生或填写表格(一般限定词数)，或回答问题。
这类试题的难度最大，考生如果不能真正读懂并理解文章，就无法下笔。
值得一提的是，近年来任务型阅读的主观题在各地中考英语试题中所占的比例越来越大，有的地方试题甚至采用两篇，既要求考生根据文章填写表格，又要求考生在阅读文章后回答问题，但是，综观任何一组中考英语阅读理解试题，试题的难易度分布非常有序。
【满分技巧】此类任务型阅读是各种题型的综合，可以给出不同的任务让学生逐一完成。
一般是在问题设计上兼顾了多种类型，既有根据短文设计的问答题和相应的翻译题、句型转换等，又有根据内容完成句子，完成这一题型应非常细致，应认真地到原材料中收集有用的信息，并且经过整理输出信息。
在明白题意和文章的基础上仔细阅读后面的题目要求，根据实际情况去完成所要求的任务。
具体答题策略如下：1.认真审题，读懂题意由于目要求形式多样，在同一篇阅读材料中会要求完成不同的任务，因此解题前要先明确任务，做到心中有数。
2.快读阅读，掌握大意在做影时要快速扫视一下文章的大意，然后结合前面的题目的要求，大致明白所要完成的任务。
3.细读题目，完成任务在明白题意和文章意思的基础上，仔细阅读后面的题目要求，在原文中找出问题题干所包括的部分，这样就可以快速准确地抓住有效信思，确保答题的准确性。
如果是根据英文释义写单词的题，则一定要确保所填的单词来源于原文，切不可脱离原文，随意发挥。
【热点话题】阅读、一带一路、健康、垃圾分类等。
【限时检测】（建议用时：30分钟）A阅读下面短文，将文中画线的句子译成汉语或英语。
In April, the second Belt and Road Forum（论坛）for International Cooperation（合作）was held in Beijing.Heads of states from 37 foreign countries attended it. （1）The main goal of it is to make the countries work together in more areas.

还原短文(一) 生日习俗+假日旅行
A[2019·青岛改编]
There is something different in this week's blog. Let's look at some birthday customs around the world.
Harry Baker, Perth, Australia
It's my birthday next Wednesday. I'm going to be 10 years old. 1.in my country. My mom's going to make me a huge plate of fairy bread. It's a snack. We make it with bread, butter, and colorful sugar called “Hundreds and Thousands”.
Jim Dixon, Montego Bay, Jamaica
I love birthdays! They are a lot of fun. Here in Jamaica, we have an old custom. 2.Guess what we do? We throw flour(面粉) at our friends! It's my best friend's birthday tomorrow. 3.I'm going to buy a lot of flour to throw at him.
Victoria Smith, London, UK
My grandmother is going to be 100 years old in June. She's very excited because she's going to get a special letter from the Queen. The Queen sends a letter to every person who reaches 100. 4.
Jiang Li, Beijing, China
In my country, we celebrate birthdays with a special type of food. Noodles are a sign of long life for us. This year, I'm going to make some “long life noodles” for all my friends. 5.and have a great evening!
A.I'm going to go to the store soon.
B.I'm going to make a big cake.
C.It's a tradition that makes people very happy.
D.We like to surprise people on their birthdays.
E.We're going to eat them together
F.We always eat fairy bread on our birthdays
G.We always like to eat them.
B
Most families love to go on holiday together. It is great fun to leave your common life behind and go somewhere different and exciting!
1.Some people enjoy traveling around cities and visiting museums. Other people prefer outdoor holidays, where you can hike or go boating. Some people like cruises, where the huge ship is like a hotel.
Many families go on holiday in summer, when schools are closed. 2.In the past, most British families would take their holidays at a British seaside town. However, now many people choose to go abroad instead. One reason for this is to escape(躲藏) the possibility of rain at home! France, Spain and Greece are popular destinations(目的地).
In the United States, summer holidays often involve a road trip. 3.It is common to drive hundreds of miles to get to your destination. If the beach is too far away, you could go to one of the national parks. Many people love to enjoy the natural beauty of places such as Yellowstone National Park or the Grand Canyon.
4.In winter, many people go skiing. The Alps are a very popular place to ski. The mountain scenery is truly wonderful! You can try downhill skiing, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.
No matter what kind of holiday you take, there are two things that nearly everyone does. The first is to send postcards to friends and family at home, so they can see a photo of the place where you are. The second is to buy some sort of souvenir(纪念品)—maybe a T-shirt or an art piece. 5.
A.Beach holidays are very popular in Britain.
